INTRODUCTION.
The following narrative is no "war ro-
nance" or 'story founded on fact" but
a genuine history, authenticated in every
part, of real events far stranger and more
thrilling than any fiction. The facts were
investigated at the time by the order Of
Edwin NJ. Stanton, secretary Of war, and
as a result the official war records, now
being published by government, contain
full proof Of every material allegation.
In the first series of that work, tenth vol
ume, part first, and beginning on page
$50, will be found the official reports Of
Judge Advocate General Holt, Maj. Gen.
Buell. and Col. Lee, Of Atlanta; together
with statements by surviving members OF
the expedition and by Confederate Gems
f. Kirby Smith, Braxton Bragg, the
Confederate secretary of war, Gen. Ran
dolph, and the president, Jefferson Davis,
with many others. / have used also my
own recollections and Photographic notes
and dates, jotted at the very time of the
events, and am thus able to make a more
life like picture than would otherwise be
possible.
have only taken the liberty of passing
more hastily over those events and ex-
plantations which, while necessary for q
full understanding of the whole, are more
in the ordinary line of military experience,
in order that more space be given to those
elements of tragedy and thrilling adven-
ture in which this raid stands separate
and unrivaled among all the many heroic
deeds of the terrible struggle for maintain
ing the American Union. Not single
fictitious incident or an establishment OF
fancy has been introduced. Wherever
conjectures as to unknown motives or in
cidents have been hazarded they are
clearly distinguished as such.

PRESS comment

Boston Herald: If there is in the
coming session of Congress case of con-
tested seat in which fraud upon the bal
lot box in South Carolina is developed,
the Southern people generally will make
a bad mistake if they treat it as Sec
tional question at all.
Cincinnati 7Imes-Star: By the nullifi-
cation of amendments to the constltu-
ton the South has controlled congress
for decade or more, and elected a
president three years ago.
Cleveland Leader: Judging from the
editorial expressions of the Indiana
press. we should say that there is fair
sized Harrison breeze springIng up in
Hoosierdom. Well, Harrison and Haw-
ley would make good ticket for 1888,
and so would Sherman and Hawley.
Omaha Herald (Dem.): To tinker
about the tariff is one thing. To reduce
it radically, to take burden from the
people by lessening their taxation, to
prevent the heaping up of an idle sur
plus, and get that already boarded into
the channels of trade-all this is quite
another. The last is what rests upon
congress.
Columbus (Ga) Sun: We are glad to
hope that we are about to get rid Of
Mugwumpery in politics. We want
honest and capable men in Office, but
the record the Republican party has
made in the past does not show that
our chances for the attainment of this
end will be enhanced by selection Of
officials from its ranks.
New York Sun: If the government
takes and runs the telegraphs, why may
it not proceed to take and run the rail-
roads and express companies, to work
the mines and the oil wells, and then
go on 10 the management of all manu-
factories, and finally to the control and
monopoly of ali business to the entire
destruction of private enterpriseP
New York Evening Post: Not only is
Kelly gone, but there are the best rea-
sons for believing that the sympathy
between Blaine and the Catholic church
no longer exists. His Irish vote in re-
